I 've done some tests on three different types of DVD-R media, by burning
the same ISO image to them at the same speed and then doing a Disc Quality
check with Nero CD-DVD speed.
I've tested the following media (so far)
Taiyo Yuden TYG03 Watershield Printable
Taiyo Yuden TYG02 Printable
Verbatim MCC03RG20 Printable
Which part of the graph is most important, top or bottom?
The way I see it (which may not be right) is the TYG02 has the best burn
with the lowest PI failures and PI errors.
The Verbatim has high number of errors but also low failures
Whereas the Taiyo Yuden TYG03 have a low errors but high number of failures
and so are the worst of the three.

Thanks for that, some useful info at that link.
